Sky Watch: Cold Front On Its Way




All these were taken from the quarry on Hobson Moor Road above the town of Hyde. This was on the 30th January and a cold front was just moving in. I have never seen the clouds form like this before. At times the sky seemed to glow and the colours change. The weather is now very windy and is very cold, snow as been forecast for this weekend so I am hoping at last to take pictures of the local moors and hills covered in snow .

Hi Peter, these are really great shots. The cloud formation is amazing

Patty said...

All the photos are nice, but I especially like the middle one of the single shots. Nice colors. We also had a cold front move through, but thank goodness we didn't get as much ice as they said we were suppose to receive. Be careful out there walking around in the snow when it arrives.
